IDEAS TO GROW YOUR BUSINESS


October 10, 2024
583 Park Avenue
New York City

Join some of the best minds in wealth management for a full day of great ideas on improving your practice.

This is a people business

Events are all about reconnecting with old friends, celebrating milestones, and making new friends. People in this business have shared histories that rest against a backdrop of an industry that has changed more in the last fifteen years than it had in the previous 70. All that change makes it important to hold on to the personal relationships that have always underpinned the business.

What hasn't changed much is what it takes to succeed. With the many different platforms, models, team sizes and firms, learning from colleagues is the best part of this industry. I look forward to getting to know you, and learning new insights from you. 


Tony Sirianni
CEO + Publisher, AdvisorHub
